Toward the beginning of his essay on "The Classical Strategists," Michael Howard points out that "the advent of nuclear weapons, to the eyes of the layman, transformed the entire nature of war." He goes on to discuss the views of "certain eminent professionals." What did these strategists think?
a. That nuclear weapons were a weapon like any other weapon - if you've got them, you use them.
b. The simple threat of the use of nuclear weapons were likely to have a profound effect on one's enemies.
c. That nuclear weapons were likely to shift the emphasis of war away from the destruction of armed forces to the destruction of entire cities.
d. That they made remarkably little difference.
